Denise Kindschi Gosselin, Regent of Betty Allen Chapter DAR
Any woman 18 years or older-regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership. We accomplish our mission through preservation of historic property, cemetery preservation, veteran grave marking, youth education, and recognition of local heroes in our community. We work closely with veteran’s services and other non-profit organizations to support underserved and underprivileged populations through donations and service. The Daughters of the American Revolution is a non-profit 501(c)(3), non political, volunteer service organization located in all fifty states and in many countries around the world. On October 11, 1890, eighteen women met to officially organize the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) for historic, educational, and patriotic purposes. The Massachusetts Daughters of the American Revolution is a state society which was organized in 1892. Currently we have over 2,100 members in chapters located across the Bay State.
